Dr. Pak discusses Automation on Clemson Web Video Series “On The Table”

Clemson University has launched a new video series that puts experts on your screen when and where you want them. “On the Table,” a public policy series from ClemsonTV, tackles tough subjects such as concussions in sports, the role of technology in our lives and health screening disparities, providing in-depth discussion from leading researchers and scholars who are members of the Clemson faculty.

In this episode, “To Trust or Not To Trust,” features Richard Pak, an associate professor in Psychology, and his research on the relationship between humans and the technology that makes hundreds of hidden decisions in our lives every day. The outcomes can be beneficial, such as self-driving cars that improve highway safety and driving efficiency. Sometimes, however, they can be detrimental. Are we trusting technology enough, or too much?
